Eligible expenses such as charging, registration, insurance, servicing and tyres may be included in regular novated lease deductions, depending on the arrangement and the employer's program.

What is asset finance?

Asset finance allows Australian businesses to acquire equipment, vehicles, or machinery by spreading costs over time rather than paying upfront. The financed asset is used as security, helping businesses maintain cash flow while securing essential tools.

How does equipment finance work in Australia?

Equipment finance in Australia allows businesses to fund the purchase of machinery, vehicles, or technology through products like chattel mortgage, finance lease, or commercial hire purchase. A broker like Asset Finance Partners matches you with the right lender from a panel of 40+ banks and non-bank lenders.

How quickly can I get pre-approved for asset finance?

Asset Finance Partners typically provides pre-approval responses within 24 hours for standard applications. Same-day responses are available for qualified borrowers.

Do I pay a fee to use Asset Finance Partners?

No. Asset Finance Partners charges no broker fee to clients. Our fee is paid by the lender upon settlement.

Does Asset Finance Partners operate across all of Australia?

What is a chattel mortgage?

A chattel mortgage is a common business finance product in Australia where the lender takes a security interest over the asset while you own it from day one. It offers potential tax advantages including GST claims and depreciation deductions for eligible businesses.

What is a BYD novated lease?

A novated lease is an arrangement between you, your employer and a finance provider that allows you to finance and operate a vehicle through regular salary deductions.

Depending on your circumstances and current taxation rules, a novated lease may allow eligible vehicle expenses to be packaged into one regular payment, including:

Vehicle finance repayments
Registration
Comprehensive insurance
Scheduled servicing
Tyres
Charging or fuel expenses
Other approved running costs

This can make budgeting for a new BYD easier by combining many of the usual vehicle expenses into one structured arrangement.

Asset Finance Partners can help you compare the vehicle cost, estimated running expenses and potential salary-packaging outcome before you make a decision.

Are electric vehicles exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax?

Eligible battery-electric vehicles may qualify for the Australian Government’s electric-car Fringe Benefits Tax exemption when the relevant legislative requirements are satisfied.

This exemption can make an eligible electric vehicle novated lease more cost-effective than financing the same vehicle using ordinary after-tax income.

Not every vehicle or customer will qualify. Eligibility can depend on factors including:

The type of vehicle
The vehicle’s original retail price
When the vehicle was first held and used
Current luxury car tax thresholds
Your employer’s participation
Current Australian taxation legislation

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are subject to separate rules. Customers should obtain independent taxation advice and confirm their eligibility before entering into a lease.

Is the 5% discount or drive-away pricing better value?

The most suitable offer will depend on the BYD model you select, the applicable campaign conditions and your individual novated lease circumstances.

The lowest advertised vehicle price does not always produce the lowest overall cost. A proper comparison should consider:

The vehicle’s purchase price
Available manufacturer discounts
On-road costs
Estimated finance repayments
Lease term
Residual value
Estimated running expenses
Potential tax treatment
Your annual salary and pay cycle

Asset Finance Partners can prepare an indicative comparison to help you understand the available options.
